Vehicle Overview

The Land Rover LR4 is the British automaker’s most affordable three-row SUV, though a five-passenger model is also available. Motivation comes from a 5.0-liter V-8 engine mated to a six-speed automatic, while off-road capability is provided by a permanent four-wheel drive system with a lockable center differential and a two-speed transfer case with a low-range. With 375 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque, the LR4 is EPA rated 12/17 mpg city/highway. While the LR4 stems from the previous LR3 platform, more than 1300 new parts warranted a new name when it debuted in 2010. Outside of North America the LR4 is sold as the Discovery 4 as it is essentially the fourth-generation Discovery.

In our LR4 first drive
“from Edinburgh to the Duke’s crib (the 10th Duke of Roxburghe at Floors Castle in southeast Scotland) included a mix of freeway, twisty, and hilly roads, on which the LR4 exhibited a carriage-to-chariot level improvement in acceleration feel, with way more midrange punch and a more pleasing engine note.” We also said that Jeep owners were “likely to be impressed with what the Terrain Response electronics allow this long, heavy truck to do on street-biased tires, and they’ll surely enjoy being able to use cameras to monitor the precise placement of the front tires, to see how close the bodywork is to encroaching rocks and obstacles, and to search for fish in the River Tweed.” The more expensive 2010 Land Rover LR4 placed first in a comparison test against the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland because “The higher cost brings more capability, more luxury, and more comfort. The Land Rover performs better on- and off-road, tows more, and has a nicer cabin.”

There are few changes for the 2013 LR4, though new colors are available. The Windsor leather is available in two new colors: Arabica (brown) seats with Nutmeg stitching and Ivory seats with Ivory stitching. New interior trim finishes are also available: Grand Ivory Lacquer veneer contrasts the Ebony dashboard and door panels, Gloss Black steering wheel switches are new to the Grand Black Lacquer veneer option, and Cosmic Grey interior finishers is a new option. The HSE Lux model gets an available Extended Leather Package that adds leather to the around the gauge cluster, top of the dash and doors, and armrest and grab handles. Havana (Brown), Barolo Black, Barossa, Mariana Black, and Causeway Gray are new exterior paint colors. The HSE Lux trim gets a new seven-spoke 19-inch alloy wheel. A new Black Design Package adds a gloss black finish to the grille, fender vents, door handles, mirror caps, and badges, while the roof rails are finished in satin black. Finally, the seven-spoke 19-inch wheels or five-spoke 20-inch wheels are completely blacked out. The Land Rover LR4 hasn’t been tested or evaluated by the NHTSA or the IIHS.

New for 2013

Inside, two new leather and trim colors and finishes are added, while an available Extended Leather Package adds more leather trim to the HSE Lux model. Five new colors have been added to the exterior paint palette.
